Legislators? Are You Listening?

My husband always called them "Serenity-isms". I gathered them into a collection called "The Wee, Wiley, and Wise". The fact is that my granddaughter, Serenity, at aged five could come up with some things that would make the wisest old man of the mountain give pause. Here is a REAL conversation I had with her when she was in kindergarten. I think we could all learn something from this kid!

"Nana? I thought school was supposed to teach you things?"

"Well it does, honey! Haven't you learned a lot this year in kindergarten?"

"Nana! I mean impor-nant things!"

"Well honey, you have learned important things! You know your alphabet and days of the week and how to count. You can even read a little bit!"

"Nana, I am telling you. A lot of kids don't know how to do something impor-nant!"

"What, honey?"

"Well at lunch, they don't say their prayers! And the teachers don't know how, either!"
